5. Activity & training history¶
Where the client is starting from: what they currently do, how much of their day is spent moving, and how they feel about exercise in the first place.
5.1 Current activity¶
I do not currently engage in regular physical activity or mind-body practices
is an exclusive escape option: selecting it clears every other option, and
selecting any other option clears it. Enforced as showNoneItem on act_types
in survey/sections/05-activity-history.json.
5.2 Daily movement & attitude¶
act_attitude shapes how the programme is sold, not just written
I have not yet found an activity that suits me is the most useful answer on the page — it invites variety and experimentation early rather than committing the client to a modality they will quietly abandon. I do not enjoy physical activity calls for the smallest viable starting dose and adherence built on habit rather than enthusiasm.
5.3 Red flags¶
act_currently_active = No is one of the cardiovascular risk factors counted
toward the age-and-load thresholds in
1.6 — being sedentary at over 40, with one
other risk factor from 2.9, is enough
to consider clearance before vigorous-intensity work. No flag in this section
stands alone.
